Wildlife rehabilitation is a self-funded activity; there is no local, state, or federal funding available, and paid positions are few and far between. Most rehabilitators ultimately seek ways to raise funds to cover expenses associated with animal care. In this course, we explore various fundraising solutions, requirements for success, and common reasons for failure. We will also look briefly at the pros and cons of establishing a 501c3 nonprofit organization.
